Matthew 9
New International Reader's Version

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Man Who Could Not Walk

9 Jesus stepped into a boat. He went over to the other side of the lake and came to his own town. 2 Some men brought to him a man who could not walk. He was lying on a mat. Jesus saw that they had faith. So he said to the man, “Don’t lose hope, son. Your sins are forgiven.”

3 Then some teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is saying a very evil thing!”

4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “Why do you have evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Is it easier to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven’? Or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he spoke to the man who could not walk. “Get up,” he said. “Take your mat and go home.” 7 The man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with wonder. They praised God for giving that kind of authority to a human being.

Jesus Chooses Matthew and Eats With Sinners

9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew. He was sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him. Matthew got up and followed him.

10 Later Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house. Many tax collectors and sinners came. They ate with Jesus and his disciples. 11 The Pharisees saw this. So they asked the disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12 Jesus heard this. So he said, “Those who are healthy don’t need a doctor. Sick people do. 13 Go and learn what this means, ‘I want mercy and not sacrifice.’ (Hosea 6:6) I have not come to get those who think they are right with God to follow me. I have come to get sinners to follow me.”

Jesus Is Asked About Fasting

14 One day John’s disciples came. They said to Jesus, “We and the Pharisees often go without eating. Why don’t your disciples go without eating?”

15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the groom be sad while he is with them? The time will come when the groom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast.

16 “People don’t sew a patch of new cloth on old clothes. The new piece will pull away from the old. That will make the tear worse. 17 People don’t pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst. The wine will run out, and the wineskins will be destroyed. No, people pour new wine into new wineskins. Then both are saved.”

Jesus Heals a Dead Girl and a Suffering Woman

18 While Jesus was saying this, a synagogue leader came. He got down on his knees in front of Jesus. He said, “My daughter has just died. But come and place your hand on her. Then she will live again.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him. So did his disciples.

20 Just then a woman came up behind Jesus. She had a sickness that made her bleed. It had lasted for 12 years. She touched the edge of his clothes. 21 She thought, “I only need to touch his clothes. Then I will be healed.”

22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Dear woman, don’t give up hope,” he said. “Your faith has healed you.” The woman was healed at that moment.

23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house, he saw the noisy crowd and people playing flutes. 24 He said, “Go away. The girl is not dead. She is sleeping.” But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been sent outside, Jesus went in. He took the girl by the hand, and she got up. 26 News about what Jesus had done spread all over that area.

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him. They called out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28 When Jesus went indoors, the blind men came to him. He asked them, “Do you believe that I can do this?”

“Yes, Lord,” they replied.

29 Then he touched their eyes. He said, “It will happen to you just as you believed.” 30 They could now see again. Jesus strongly warned them, “Be sure that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread the news. They talked about him all over that area.

32 While they were going out, another man was brought to Jesus. A demon controlled him, and he could not speak. 33 When the demon was driven out, the man spoke. The crowd was amazed. They said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”

34 But the Pharisees said, “He drives out demons by the power of the prince of demons.”

There Are Only a Few Workers

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages. He taught in their synagogues. He preached the good news of the kingdom. And he healed every illness and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he felt deep concern for them. They were treated badly and were helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “The harvest is huge. But there are only a few workers. 38 So ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers out into his harvest field.”

Mateo 9
La Biblia de las Américas

Curación de un paralítico

9 Y subiendo Jesús en una barca, pasó al otro lado y llegó a su ciudad(A). 2 (B)Y[a] le trajeron un paralítico echado en una camilla; y Jesús, viendo la fe de ellos, dijo al paralítico(C): Anímate(D), hijo, tus pecados te son perdonados(E). 3 Y[b] algunos de los escribas decían para sí[c]: Este blasfema(F). 4 Y Jesús, conociendo sus pensamientos(G), dijo: ¿Por qué pensáis mal en vuestros corazones? 5 Porque, ¿qué es más fácil, decir: «Tus pecados te son perdonados», o decir: «Levántate, y anda(H)»? 6 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del Hombre(I) tiene autoridad en la tierra para perdonar pecados (entonces dijo* al paralítico(J)): Levántate, toma tu camilla y vete a tu casa. 7 Y él levantándose, se fue a su casa. 8 Pero cuando las multitudes vieron esto, sintieron temor[d], y glorificaron a Dios(K), que había dado tal poder[e] a los hombres.

Llamamiento de Mateo y la cena en su casa

9 (L)Cuando Jesús se fue de allí, vio a un hombre llamado Mateo(M), sentado en la oficina de los tributos, y le dijo*: ¡Sígueme(N)! Y levantándose, le siguió.

10 Y sucedió que estando Él sentado[f] a la mesa en la casa, he aquí, muchos recaudadores de impuestos[g] y pecadores llegaron y se sentaron[h] a la mesa con Jesús y sus discípulos. 11 Y cuando vieron esto, los fariseos dijeron a sus discípulos: ¿Por qué come vuestro Maestro con los recaudadores de impuestos y pecadores(O)? 12 Al oír Él esto, dijo: Los que están sanos[i] no tienen necesidad de médico, sino los que están enfermos(P). 13 Mas id, y aprended lo que significa(Q): «Misericordia[j] quiero y no sacrificio(R)»; porque no he venido a llamar a justos, sino a pecadores(S).

Pregunta sobre el ayuno

14 Entonces se le acercaron* los discípulos de Juan, diciendo: ¿Por qué nosotros y los fariseos ayunamos(T), pero tus discípulos no ayunan? 15 Y Jesús les dijo: ¿Acaso los acompañantes del novio[k] pueden estar de luto mientras el novio está con ellos? Pero vendrán días cuando el novio les será[l] quitado, y entonces ayunarán. 16 Y nadie pone un remiendo[m] de tela nueva[n] en un vestido viejo; porque el remiendo[o] al encogerse tira del vestido y se produce una rotura peor. 17 Y nadie echa vino nuevo en odres[p] viejos, porque entonces[q] los odres se revientan, el vino se derrama y los odres se pierden; sino que se echa vino nuevo en odres nuevos, y ambos se conservan.

Curación de una mujer y resurrección de la hija de un oficial

18 (U)Mientras les decía estas cosas, he aquí, vino un oficial[r] de la sinagoga y se postró delante de Él[s](V), diciendo: Mi hija acaba de morir; pero ven y pon tu mano sobre ella, y vivirá. 19 Y levantándose Jesús, lo siguió, y también sus discípulos. 20 Y he aquí, una mujer que había estado sufriendo de flujo de sangre por doce años, se le acercó por detrás y tocó el borde de su manto(W); 21 pues decía para sí: Si tan solo toco su manto(X), sanaré[t]. 22 Pero Jesús, volviéndose y viéndola, dijo: Hija, ten ánimo(Y), tu fe te ha sanado[u](Z). Y al instante[v] la mujer quedó sana[w]. 23 Cuando entró Jesús en la casa del oficial[x], y vio a los flautistas(AA) y al gentío en ruidoso desorden, 24 les dijo: Retiraos, porque la niña[y] no ha muerto(AB), sino que está dormida. Y se burlaban de Él. 25 Pero cuando habían echado fuera a la gente(AC), Él entró y la tomó de la mano; y la niña[z] se levantó[aa](AD). 26 Y esta noticia[ab] se difundió por toda aquella tierra(AE).

Curación de dos ciegos y un mudo

27 Al irse Jesús de allí, dos ciegos le siguieron, gritando y diciendo: ¡Hijo de David(AF), ten misericordia de nosotros! 28 Y después de haber entrado en la casa, se acercaron a Él los ciegos, y Jesús les dijo*: ¿Creéis que puedo hacer esto? Ellos le respondieron*: Sí, Señor. 29 Entonces les tocó los ojos, diciendo: Hágase en vosotros según vuestra fe(AG). 30 Y se les abrieron los ojos. Y Jesús les advirtió rigurosamente(AH), diciendo: Mirad que nadie lo sepa. 31 Pero ellos, en cuanto salieron, divulgaron su fama por toda aquella tierra(AI).

32 Y al salir ellos de allí, he aquí, le trajeron un mudo(AJ) endemoniado(AK). 33 Y después que el demonio había sido expulsado, el mudo habló; y las multitudes se maravillaban, y decían: Jamás se ha visto[ac] cosa igual en Israel(AL). 34 Pero los fariseos decían: El echa fuera los demonios por el príncipe de los demonios(AM).

Ministerio de Jesús

35 Y Jesús recorría todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando en las sinagogas de ellos(AN), proclamando el evangelio del reino y sanando toda enfermedad y toda dolencia(AO). 36 Y viendo las multitudes(AP), tuvo compasión de ellas, porque estaban angustiadas y abatidas como ovejas que no tienen pastor(AQ). 37 Entonces dijo* a sus discípulos: La mies es mucha, pero los obreros pocos(AR). 38 Por tanto, rogad al Señor de la mies que envíe obreros a su mies.

Matthew 9
New International Version

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(A)

9 Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.(B) 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man,(C) lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith,(D) he said to the man, “Take heart,(E) son; your sins are forgiven.”(F)

3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”(G)

4 Knowing their thoughts,(H) Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(I) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7 Then the man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God,(J) who had given such authority to man.

The Calling of Matthew(K)

9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(L) he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.

10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(M)

12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a](N) For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(O)

Jesus Questioned About Fasting(P)

14 Then John’s(Q) disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often,(R) but your disciples do not fast?”

15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?(S) The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.(T)

16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(U)

18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him(V) and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her,(W) and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.

20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.(X) 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart,(Y) daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.”(Z) And the woman was healed at that moment.(AA)

23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,(AB) 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead(AC) but asleep.”(AD) But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.(AE) 26 News of this spread through all that region.(AF)

Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute

27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”(AG)

28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

“Yes, Lord,” they replied.(AH)

29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”;(AI) 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.”(AJ) 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.(AK)

32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed(AL) and could not talk(AM) was brought to Jesus. 33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”(AN)

34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”(AO)

The Workers Are Few

35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.(AP) 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them,(AQ) because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.(AR) 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest(AS) is plentiful but the workers are few.(AT) 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
